Customer service is not good
Following in the pattern of everything conceptualize in America but made in CHINA stay with SONY or TOSHIBA. Bought a computer from AMAZON, first they sent me the wrong computer second three months later the keyboard stop working, since I took my laptop to Costa Rica my WARANNTY IS NOT VALID even thought they have outsource a large part of Customer support in Costa Rica, and they have a huge service center in Costa Rica simple they wont help me out, HOW can a company this large abandonded a customer with out any resposibility. HP is a multinational with out any respest......! I am ambarassed to say come from the bay area as well as this multinational company. Both friends who work in Costa Rica and San Jose California for HP said HOW COULD I have bought HP....! I wanted to give it a try and buy ¨American(made in china¨).

Greate buy with cool looking design
I have Sony SZ110 laptop which I bought two years ago. I decide to look for a new one since the Sony seems to run very slow consider the amount of money I paid for the Sony one($1500). I have looked at HP, Dell, Gateway, and Toshiba, and then decide to go with this HP. I did a custom build this laptop on HP site and cost around $1250. When I saw at best buy discount for $799 ($100 off), I didn't wait very long. I have been a long fan of Sony due to their quality, however, this time it is HP.

Pros: 1) I like the design and the finishing - very shine and glossy. At night when you turn it on, the blue light on the laptop looks outstanding 2) The performance is very good. I have alot of software on this machine including Adobe CS3 suite and this thing shut down in 30 seconds and will boot everything up in 1 minute - fully load. 3) A great price for this kind of laptop.

Cons: 1) The volume control is slow to reponse when using the assign buttons. 2) this baby give out heat about 20-30% more than my sony. 3) The screen is not as bright as my sony (10-15% less), but if you don't have a sony before or don't care about the screen to be very bright, then it doesn't matter.

For your my normal usage, the battery last about 2.25 - 3.00 (6 cells).

Overall, this is a great buy. If I have to buy again, I would buy this one again.
